My handle? Well.... There is a bit
of history to it actually. It all started back in January of 1950. It was a cold snowy Chicago winter night when churchyards yawned and hell itself breathed out contagion to this world. My mom said "You know... now could I drink hot blood and do such naughty things etc etc" and my dad said: "Let's name him after Bruce Lee." And my mom said: "Bruce who?" And my dad said "Never mind." And the rest is history. Bruce (Lee) Boyd |
Gegogi means dog meat in
Korean. Once translated it appears negative to Americans as anything with "dog" in it is held in low esteem. But in Korea dog meat is expensive and is only eaten by men in special restaurants. Dog soup is especially loved by macho types. It's supposed to make you more virile. I haven't tried dog--never will--but once enjoyed frog legs... |
User Names??
From another
thread: "mmmmh, perhaps I should change my username to Indigo!? It sounds not bad ( at least its a much more interesting name than just Ingo )." Sooooo!, I have a question. there are some interesting user names around here. Some of them I wonder "what do they mean" or "where did they come from?". So? By the way, mine is: I live in the mountains east of San Diego, and I'm Jim. |
We sure have some unique
nicknames around the forum..Is cool to know what they mean. Many times I've wonder about some of your names too.. What can I say about mine? *grins* I'm really not that Sweet as some might think. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/ls/blink.gif I basically couldn't think of anything better! I like candy & SweetBrenda came to my mind... |
Mine fell none-too-gently upon me
Freshman year, when my drumming apparently reminded someone of (Santana's) Rodney Holmes. I wasn't displeased. So, no, nothing to do with Sherlock or Larry or Katie. Or John (unfortunately). |
I'm a physics major.
And Bruce rejected my first couple of names. |

An old Gary Numan cd was playing
as I started the account. It was the first name that popped into my head. I'll probably change it eventually. |
Mine is no big surprise - way too
much time spent wearing a bass. (the instrument, not the fish). -Bass |
I wanted to have the nick
"Wiseman", but I think it was taken already so I went for "real_wiseman". Wiseman has been my nick in the hacker-scene for about 6 years now... // w |
My handle comes from
my all time favorite sitcom, which has my all time favorite character, Jethro Bodine. I hope to some day rise up to his level of sophistication. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.png It's also a bit of irony as I tend to be a recluse at times. Though I guess it's not a total lie as I have drunk beer south of the border on occasion. I started using it at another board after I found my original name, "Crunchy Frog" was too similar to another user's handle, so I asked to have it changed there and carried it over to here. The complete title is "International Playboy and Double Naught Spy," but that takes too long to type. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.png Quote:
Bruce Lee in 1950? I remember him in the Green Hornet show but didn't know his name until his movies reached America in the 1970s. BTW, my middle name is Lee too. |
This reminds me of an absolutely
true story. I was sitting in a meeting once long ago at a clinic I worked at in the 70s. There was a whole room full of people there and suddenly and unexpectedly someone asked a woman present there where she got the nickname "Butters". Well, everyone was a little shocked because I think we had all just assumed it had something to do with the woman's weight, which I would estimate at around a deuce, deuce and a half. I'm sure everyone just assumed it was a take off of "Butterball" or something like that, but of course nobody ever talked about it. Then suddenly, in the middle of the meeting, some doofus blurts out "Hey Butters, how did you get that nickname anyway?" "Whooooa, what a jerk", we are all thinking, but without batting an eye Butters says "It's short for 'Butterfly'" and she was dead serious. Er? You could hear a pin drop in there for what seemed like a very long time. Then doofus says something like: "uh.. gee. I woulda thought; ya know; like; butter... um... it's sort of soft and like, ya know and stuff. Butterfly, huh? Nice name." Bruce |
